Passenger Drones to Decongest Cities

Addressing the Techfest organised by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Jayant Sinha said the government is working on bringing in regulations for the drones sector which will help faster and better development of such technologies. Passenger drones can help decongest the choked city roads and students from IITs could do a lot in developing such tools, the Minister said. “Drones are a massive opportunity. Like electric vehicles, drones will also use the same electric motors and batteries, but the only difference is that they will be in the sky. We are working on bringing in some set of regulations for drones that will help make the technology more progressive,” the Minister added.
